ANTCLABS BLTouch : Auto Bed Leveling Sensor/to be a Premium 3D Printer (with 2M Extension Cable Set)

The staple of my printer.... once added, I’ve totally forgotten how to level my bed. No joke. I haven’t leveled the bed in about 3 months and all my prints are sticking the the bed perfectly. Get one now! Don’t think about it... just do it!

Must have upgrade for any printer. I got it for my CR-10s pro. Note: you must buy longer wires for it. Not the easiest to get installed and running but 100% worth it. I love it

Love that it does work on a cr10s pro you just need to add the jumper cap that comes with the bltouch for the version 3.0 they have pictures on there web sight

I dont normally write a negative review (Can you look at my other posts?), but this thing literally ruined 3D printing for me... for a while. My short story: I bought the Ender 3 V2, and I was having a blast with it! 220x220 was an AWESOME upgrade from my MPSM! I decided I would make things even easier on myself, and get the BLTouch! Big mistake.. HUGE. Dudes & Dudetts I havent been able to print SINCE I installed it. It literally adds so much more complication to the mix. I LOVE to tinker. I figured If I level the bed myself and get good prints, this thing should make me a rockstar! WRONG. You start having to mess with offsets and meshes and all sorts of junk that adds SOOO much more confusion to the 3D printer. Unneeded confusion. Ive tried since I purchased this thing.. and I just cant get it. Reddit posts, YT, forums. Nothing. Well, tonight I needed something printed, and Im dead in the water, so I removed the BLTouch. I leveled the bed with a piece of printer paper... and BAM! Printing like a dream again after about 4 months. I mean even if I was doing something wrong... how would I be able to be back up and running again with a firmware flash and a quick level? If you can take anything from this rant, its the very fact that something like this device should make printing easier? Right? Do yourself a favor, save yourself some time. Just level the bed with paper and keep on printing! Thanks for listening to my story, I take solace in the fact that I might save you some money.

Can be a bit fidgety at times but overall I am very pleased to own it.

It’s important to get skilled at leveling a printer bed manually, but once you’ve got it down pat, you probably just want to get your prints done. Having the machine do the work for you and get right, reproducibly, is what the BL Touch is for, and it’s great at it, but you have to know what you’re doing. It’s not for beginners, but auto bed leveling with a sensor like the BL Touch is the next step to reliable printing.

Couldn’t get 3d printer level after weeks of trying until this. took away so much frustration getting started!
